who has 17x8.5" rims?
are you happy with them? I ideally would want 17x9 and 17x10.5 but the rims I want will be 8.5" wide at most unless they make new sizes.

ah thanks. I'm getting these. If the new sizes come out like they say they will. http://www.maswheels.com/axel.html
Did you need spacers or did they have the right size? Would those Rivas fit? How much would the Rivas be?

Tas, take some time to call the manufacturer of the wheel. It it very likely that they will make a set of wheels in exactly the dimensions you desire. You will have to wait a little time until they retool but at least you'll get exactly what you want. No need for spacers... just adjust the backspacing appropriately.

Nice looking wheels ( try to get plain center caps-I put IROC-Z decals on mine). My
ATI wheels included spacers for the front off
set, so now I can rotate the tires without
dismounting them. Nice feature! Notice that
not too many mfg's make wheels for the IROC's, so
make sure they fit.
